The melody of the cruise

You can’t cruise without some cool tunes and both Cruise Headquarters and the Dorian Ford Midway will have live entertainment, thanks to the performers who answered the clarion call by the cruise committee for local bands.
“We appreciate them coming out and performing for free, and hope that everyone enjoys their music,” said Steve Hemmen, cruise secretary. “I wish we had more stages to accommodate all the bands that responded.”
